Description

本発明は、空気入りタイヤ及び空気入りタイヤの製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a pneumatic tire and a method for manufacturing a pneumatic tire.

車両走行時に空気入りタイヤの内部で生ずる空洞共鳴音を低減するために、タイヤ内面に吸音体を接着したタイヤが開示されている（特許文献１参照）。   In order to reduce cavity resonance generated inside a pneumatic tire during vehicle travel, a tire is disclosed in which a sound absorber is bonded to the tire inner surface (see Patent Document 1).

特開２０１０−２０１９９７号公報JP 2010-201997 A

通常のゴムタイヤでは、タイヤ内面（インナーライナー面）には、シリコーンを含んだ層が存在する。この層は、タイヤの加硫時にブラダーとタイヤ内面との密着を防ぐ目的で塗布されているシリコーン系の離型剤である。   In a normal rubber tire, a layer containing silicone is present on the inner surface (inner liner surface) of the tire. This layer is a silicone release agent applied for the purpose of preventing adhesion between the bladder and the tire inner surface during vulcanization of the tire.

しかしながら、タイヤ内面に吸音体を接着するためには、シリコーンを含んだ層をレーザーで焼き切ったり、バフ等により機械的に剥ぎ取ってから念入りに洗浄したりといった除去工程が必要であった。   However, in order to bond the sound absorber to the inner surface of the tire, a removal process such as burning the layer containing silicone with a laser or mechanically stripping it off with a buff or the like and then washing it carefully is necessary.

また、タイヤ内面に吸音体を接着するため、該吸音体に接着層（例えば両面テープ状の糊）を配置する工程が必要であった。これらの工程に伴ってコストが増加していた。   Further, in order to bond the sound absorber to the inner surface of the tire, a step of arranging an adhesive layer (for example, a double-sided tape-like paste) on the sound absorber is necessary. Costs increased with these steps.

本発明は、吸音体が配置された空気入りタイヤを低コストで提供できるようにすることを目的とする。   It is an object of the present invention to provide a pneumatic tire on which a sound absorber is disposed at a low cost.

請求項１に係る空気入りタイヤは、少なくともタイヤ内面が樹脂材料で構成されたタイヤ骨格部材と、熱可塑性樹脂材料により構成されると共に吸音可能とされ、前記タイヤ内面に溶着部を介して結合される吸音体と、を有する。   The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 includes a tire frame member having at least a tire inner surface made of a resin material and a thermoplastic resin material and is capable of absorbing sound, and is coupled to the tire inner surface via a welded portion. A sound absorber.

この空気入りタイヤでは、タイヤ骨格部材における少なくともタイヤ内面が樹脂材料で構成されているので、タイヤ内面がゴムである場合と異なり、加硫時にブラダーがタイヤ内面に密着することがない。したがって、ブラダーの密着防止策としてのシリコーン系の離型剤の塗布工程が不要となる。また、熱可塑性樹脂材料で構成された吸音体が、樹脂材料で構成されたタイヤ内面に溶着部を介して結合されているので、吸音体に接着層を配置する工程が不要となる。このため、吸音体がタイヤ内面に接着される場合と比較して工程が少なくなり、低コストとなる。   In this pneumatic tire, since at least the tire inner surface of the tire frame member is made of a resin material, unlike the case where the tire inner surface is rubber, the bladder does not adhere to the tire inner surface during vulcanization. Therefore, the application process of the silicone type release agent as a measure for preventing adhesion of the bladder becomes unnecessary. In addition, since the sound absorber made of the thermoplastic resin material is bonded to the tire inner surface made of the resin material via the welded portion, the step of arranging the adhesive layer on the sound absorber becomes unnecessary. For this reason, compared with the case where a sound-absorbing body is adhere | attached on a tire inner surface, a process becomes fewer and it becomes low-cost.

請求項２の発明は、請求項１に記載の空気入りタイヤにおいて、前記タイヤ骨格部材が、熱可塑性樹脂材料により構成され、前記タイヤ骨格部材のタイヤ径方向外側に、ベルト層が設けられ、前記溶着部は、タイヤ径方向において前記ベルト層と重なる範囲に設けられている。   The invention according to claim 2 is the pneumatic tire according to claim 1, wherein the tire frame member is made of a thermoplastic resin material, and a belt layer is provided on a tire radial direction outer side of the tire frame member, The welded portion is provided in a range overlapping with the belt layer in the tire radial direction.

この空気入りタイヤでは、吸音体だけでなくタイヤ骨格部材も熱可塑性樹脂材料により構成されているので、吸音体とタイヤ内面との溶着が容易となる。溶着時には、タイヤ骨格部材のタイヤ内面が一旦溶けるが、溶着部は、タイヤ径方向においてベルト層と重なる範囲に設けられているので、タイヤ骨格部材が一旦溶けることによる強度変化の影響を無視できる。   In this pneumatic tire, since not only the sound absorber but also the tire frame member is made of a thermoplastic resin material, it is easy to weld the sound absorber and the tire inner surface. At the time of welding, the tire inner surface of the tire frame member is once melted, but since the welded portion is provided in a range overlapping with the belt layer in the tire radial direction, the influence of the strength change due to the tire frame member being melted once can be ignored.

請求項３の発明は、請求項２に記載の空気入りタイヤにおいて、前記吸音体が、タイヤ幅方向における前記ベルト層の範囲内に設けられている。   According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the pneumatic tire according to the second aspect, the sound absorber is provided within the range of the belt layer in the tire width direction.

この空気入りタイヤでは、吸音体がタイヤ幅方向におけるベルト層の範囲内に設けられているので、吸音体の使用量を抑制してコスト増を抑制しつつ、吸音性能を確保することができる。   In this pneumatic tire, since the sound absorbing body is provided within the belt layer in the tire width direction, it is possible to secure the sound absorbing performance while suppressing the use amount of the sound absorbing body and suppressing the cost increase.

請求項４の発明は、請求項１〜請求項３の何れか１項に記載の空気入りタイヤにおいて、前記溶着部が、前記タイヤ内面と前記吸音体とが超音波溶着された部位である。   According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the pneumatic tire according to any one of the first to third aspects, the weld portion is a portion where the tire inner surface and the sound absorbing body are ultrasonically welded.

この空気入りタイヤでは、溶着部が、タイヤ内面と吸音体とが超音波溶着された部位であるので、該溶着部は局所的に存在する。したがって、空気入りタイヤのリサイクル時等において、吸音体とタイヤ骨格部材との分別が容易である。   In this pneumatic tire, the welded portion is a portion where the tire inner surface and the sound absorbing body are ultrasonically welded, and therefore the welded portion exists locally. Therefore, it is easy to separate the sound absorber from the tire frame member when the pneumatic tire is recycled.

請求項５の発明は、請求項４に記載の空気入りタイヤにおいて、前記溶着部が、タイヤ赤道面のタイヤ幅方向両側において、タイヤ周方向に連続的、断続的又は離散的に設けられている。   According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the pneumatic tire according to the fourth aspect, the welded portion is provided continuously, intermittently or discretely in the tire circumferential direction on both sides of the tire equatorial plane in the tire width direction. .

この空気入りタイヤでは、溶着部が、タイヤ赤道面のタイヤ幅方向両側において、タイヤ周方向に連続的、断続的又は離散的に設けられているので、超音波溶着時に、タイヤ骨格部材のうちタイヤ赤道面に相当する部位が溶けることがなく、該部位の強度変化を抑制できる。   In this pneumatic tire, the welded portion is provided continuously, intermittently or discretely in the tire circumferential direction on both sides of the tire equatorial plane in the tire width direction. The portion corresponding to the equator plane is not melted, and the intensity change of the portion can be suppressed.

請求項６に係る空気入りタイヤの製造方法は、少なくともタイヤ内面が樹脂材料で構成されたタイヤ骨格部材を製造する工程と、熱可塑性樹脂材料により構成されると共に吸音可能とされた吸音体を、前記タイヤ内面に溶着する工程と、を有する。   The method for manufacturing a pneumatic tire according to claim 6 includes a step of manufacturing a tire frame member in which at least an inner surface of the tire is made of a resin material, and a sound absorber made of a thermoplastic resin material and capable of absorbing sound, And welding to the tire inner surface.

この空気入りタイヤの製造方法では、タイヤ骨格部材の少なくともタイヤ内面を樹脂材料で構成するので、タイヤ内面がゴムである場合と異なり、加硫時にブラダーがタイヤ内面に密着することがない。したがって、ブラダーの密着防止策としてのシリコーン系の離型剤の塗布工程が不要となる。また、熱可塑性樹脂材料で構成された吸音体を、樹脂材料で構成されたタイヤ内面に溶着するので、吸音体に接着層を配置する工程が不要となる。このため、吸音体をタイヤ内面に接着する場合と比較して工程が少なくなり、低コストとなる。   In this method for manufacturing a pneumatic tire, since at least the tire inner surface of the tire frame member is made of a resin material, unlike the case where the tire inner surface is rubber, the bladder does not adhere to the tire inner surface during vulcanization. Therefore, the application process of the silicone type release agent as a measure for preventing adhesion of the bladder becomes unnecessary. Moreover, since the sound absorber made of the thermoplastic resin material is welded to the inner surface of the tire made of the resin material, a step of arranging an adhesive layer on the sound absorber becomes unnecessary. For this reason, compared with the case where a sound-absorbing body is bonded to the tire inner surface, the number of processes is reduced and the cost is reduced.

本発明に係る空気入りタイヤによれば、吸音体が配置された空気入りタイヤを低コストで提供することができる、という優れた効果が得られる。   According to the pneumatic tire according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain an excellent effect that the pneumatic tire in which the sound absorber is arranged can be provided at a low cost.

Further, the side reinforcing layer 34 may be formed by covering a reinforcing cord with a resin instead of rubber.

（吸音体）
図１において、吸音体１６は、熱可塑性樹脂材料により構成されると共に吸音可能とされ、タイヤ内面１８Ａに溶着部１７を介して結合されている。この吸音体１６は、スポンジ、発泡樹脂等の例えばシート状の多孔質体であり、空気入りタイヤ１０の空洞共鳴で生じる音を吸音可能となっている。吸音体１６は、例えばタイヤ幅方向におけるベルト層３０の範囲内に設けられている。なお、吸音体１６は、これに限られず、ベルト層３０のタイヤ幅方向の端部３０Ｅより更にタイヤ幅方向外側まで、タイヤ内面１８Ａに沿って張り出していてもよい。この場合、溶着部１７がベルト層３０の範囲内に設けられていることが好ましい (Sound absorber)
In FIG. 1, a sound absorber 16 is made of a thermoplastic resin material and can absorb sound, and is coupled to a tire inner surface 18 </ b> A via a welded portion 17. The sound absorber 16 is, for example, a sheet-like porous body such as sponge or foamed resin, and can absorb sound generated by cavity resonance of the pneumatic tire 10. The sound absorber 16 is provided, for example, within the belt layer 30 in the tire width direction. The sound absorber 16 is not limited to this, and may extend along the tire inner surface 18A from the end 30E of the belt layer 30 in the tire width direction to the outer side in the tire width direction. In this case, it is preferable that the welding part 17 is provided in the range of the belt layer 30.

吸音体１６は、図２（Ａ）に示されるように、タイヤ周方向の全体に配置されていてもよく、また図２（Ｂ）に示されるように、タイヤ周方向に離散的に配置されていてもよい。離散配置の場合、空気入りタイヤ１０のユニフォーミティ等を考慮して、素数個の吸音体１６をタイヤ周方向に非均等に配置することが望ましい。   The sound absorber 16 may be disposed in the entire tire circumferential direction as shown in FIG. 2A, and is discretely arranged in the tire circumferential direction as shown in FIG. 2B. It may be. In the case of discrete arrangement, in consideration of the uniformity of the pneumatic tire 10 and the like, it is desirable that the prime number of sound absorbers 16 be non-uniformly arranged in the tire circumferential direction.

図１において、溶着部１７は、タイヤ内面１８Ａと吸音体１６とが超音波溶着された部位である。この溶着部１７は、タイヤ径方向においてベルト層３０と重なる範囲に設けられている。換言すれば、溶着部１７は、タイヤ幅方向において、ベルト層３０のタイヤ幅方向両側の端部３０Ｅ間に対応する範囲に設けられている。図示の例では、溶着部１７は、タイヤ赤道面ＣＬのタイヤ幅方向両側において、タイヤ周方向に離散的に設けられている。   In FIG. 1, a welded portion 17 is a portion where the tire inner surface 18A and the sound absorber 16 are ultrasonically welded. The welded portion 17 is provided in a range overlapping the belt layer 30 in the tire radial direction. In other words, the welded portion 17 is provided in a range corresponding to between the end portions 30E on both sides in the tire width direction of the belt layer 30 in the tire width direction. In the illustrated example, the welded portions 17 are discretely provided in the tire circumferential direction on both sides of the tire equatorial plane CL in the tire width direction.

吸音体１６のうち、自由端となる端部はできる限り溶着することが望ましい。また、タイヤ周方向に連続する吸音体１６では、タイヤ周方向の長さが長くなるが、タイヤ非回転時に吸音体１６がタイヤ内面１８Ａから離れて垂れることを抑制するために、吸音体１６のタイヤ周方向の中間部をもう一か所溶着するのが好ましい。   Of the sound absorbing body 16, it is desirable that the end portion to be a free end is welded as much as possible. Further, in the sound absorber 16 that is continuous in the tire circumferential direction, the length in the tire circumferential direction becomes long. However, in order to prevent the sound absorber 16 from dripping away from the tire inner surface 18A when the tire is not rotated, It is preferable to weld another intermediate portion in the tire circumferential direction.

したがって、図２（Ａ）に示されるように、吸音体１６として、タイヤ周方向に連続するスポンジを用いる場合、タイヤ周方向の２箇所の端部と、その中間部の１か所とに、溶着部１７が設けられる。図２（Ｂ）に示されるように、吸音体１６として、タイヤ周方向に連続しないスポンジを用いる場合には、少なくともタイヤ周方向の両端部に溶着部１７が設けられる。   Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2 (A), when a sponge that is continuous in the tire circumferential direction is used as the sound absorber 16, two ends in the tire circumferential direction and one intermediate portion thereof are used. A welded portion 17 is provided. As shown in FIG. 2 (B), when a sponge that is not continuous in the tire circumferential direction is used as the sound absorber 16, welded portions 17 are provided at least at both ends in the tire circumferential direction.

一対のタイヤ片（図示せず）をタイヤ赤道面ＣＬにおいて接合してタイヤ骨格部材１８が形成されている場合、その接合部(タイヤ赤道面ＣＬ)を避けて溶着部１７を設けることが望ましい。「タイヤ赤道面ＣＬのタイヤ幅方向両側」としたのは、このように溶着部１７がタイヤ片の接合部位を避けて設けられていることを意味する。溶着部１７を設ける際には、溶着に用いるホーン３６（図４，図５参照）が、タイヤ骨格部材１８の接合部（タイヤ赤道面ＣＬ）に対して、タイヤ径方向に重ならないことが望ましい。   When the tire frame member 18 is formed by joining a pair of tire pieces (not shown) at the tire equatorial plane CL, it is desirable to provide the welded portion 17 while avoiding the joined portion (tire equatorial plane CL). The phrase “both sides in the tire width direction of the tire equatorial plane CL” means that the welded portion 17 is provided so as to avoid the joining portion of the tire pieces. When the welded portion 17 is provided, it is desirable that the horn 36 (see FIGS. 4 and 5) used for welding does not overlap with the joint portion (tire equatorial plane CL) of the tire frame member 18 in the tire radial direction. .

吸音体１６のタイヤ径方向内側の面には、超音波溶着時にホーン３６（図４，図５）が押し込まれるので、その影響で凹部１６Ａが残存する場合がある。凹部１６Ａの位置は、概ね溶着部１７の位置に対応している。   Since the horn 36 (FIGS. 4 and 5) is pushed into the surface of the sound absorber 16 on the inner side in the tire radial direction during ultrasonic welding, the recess 16A may remain due to the influence. The position of the concave portion 16 </ b> A substantially corresponds to the position of the welded portion 17.

吸音体１６の平面視における溶着部１７の配置や形状は、ホーン３６の形状や溶着位置の調節等により、種々に変更可能である。図３（Ａ）に示される溶着部１７の配置は、図１に対応している。この例では、溶着部１７はそれぞれ円形に形成されており、かつタイヤ赤道面ＣＬのタイヤ幅方向両側において、タイヤ周方向に離散的に配置されている。   The arrangement and shape of the welded portion 17 in a plan view of the sound absorber 16 can be variously changed by adjusting the shape of the horn 36, the welding position, or the like. The arrangement of the welded portion 17 shown in FIG. 3 (A) corresponds to FIG. In this example, the welded portions 17 are each formed in a circular shape, and are discretely arranged in the tire circumferential direction on both sides of the tire equatorial plane CL in the tire width direction.

図３（Ｂ）に示される溶着部１７は、それぞれ円形に形成されており、かつタイヤ赤道面ＣＬ及び該タイヤ赤道面ＣＬのタイヤ幅方向両側において、タイヤ周方向に離散的に配置されている。   The welds 17 shown in FIG. 3B are each formed in a circular shape, and are discretely arranged in the tire circumferential direction on both sides of the tire equatorial plane CL and the tire equatorial plane CL in the tire width direction. .

図３（Ｃ）に示される溶着部１７は、それぞれタイヤ幅方向に延びる直線形に形成されており、かつタイヤ赤道面ＣＬのタイヤ幅方向両側において、タイヤ周方向に離散的に配置されている。   The welds 17 shown in FIG. 3C are each formed in a linear shape extending in the tire width direction, and are discretely arranged in the tire circumferential direction on both sides of the tire equatorial plane CL in the tire width direction. .

図３（Ｄ）に示される溶着部１７は、タイヤ赤道面ＣＬのタイヤ幅方向両側において、タイヤ周方向に連続的に配置されている。   3D is continuously disposed in the tire circumferential direction on both sides of the tire equatorial plane CL in the tire width direction.

図３（Ｅ）に示される溶着部１７は、それぞれタイヤ赤道面ＣＬを含んで該タイヤ赤道面ＣＬのタイヤ幅方向両側に延びる直線形に形成されており、かつタイヤ周方向に離散的に配置されている。   The welds 17 shown in FIG. 3 (E) are each formed in a linear shape including the tire equatorial plane CL and extending on both sides of the tire equatorial plane CL in the tire width direction, and are discretely arranged in the tire circumferential direction. Has been.

図３（Ｆ）に示される溶着部１７は、タイヤ赤道面ＣＬのタイヤ幅方向両側において、それぞれタイヤ周方向に断続的に延びている。   The welds 17 shown in FIG. 3 (F) extend intermittently in the tire circumferential direction on both sides of the tire equatorial plane CL in the tire width direction.

溶着部１７がタイヤ赤道面ＣＬの両側に配置され、かつタイヤ周方向に離散的又は断続的に配置される場合、該溶着部１７が存在するタイヤ周方向位置において、タイヤ赤道面ＣＬの両側における溶着部１７の数は、例えばそれぞれ１箇所である。つまり、タイヤ幅方向に２箇所の溶着部１７が並んでいる。また、各々の溶着部１７は、タイヤ周方向に並んである。換言すれば、各々の溶着部１７のタイヤ幅方向位置は、タイヤ周方向の位置に依らず一定である。これにより、２本のホーン３６（図４，図５）を用いて、溶着部１７を効率的に形成することができる。   When the welded portions 17 are arranged on both sides of the tire equatorial plane CL and are arranged discretely or intermittently in the tire circumferential direction, at the tire circumferential direction positions where the welded portions 17 exist, on both sides of the tire equatorial plane CL. The number of the welding parts 17 is one place each, for example. That is, the two welding parts 17 are located in a line in the tire width direction. Moreover, each welding part 17 is located in a line with the tire circumferential direction. In other words, the position in the tire width direction of each welded portion 17 is constant regardless of the position in the tire circumferential direction. Thereby, the welding part 17 can be efficiently formed using the two horns 36 (FIGS. 4 and 5).

なお、図示は省略するが、溶着部１７は、千鳥状に配置されていてもよい。また、吸音体１６の展開状態（平面視）において、吸音体１６の面積に対する溶着部１７の面積の割合の上限は、１０％である。この上限よりも大きいと、溶着の工数が大幅に増加する。   In addition, although illustration is abbreviate | omitted, the welding part 17 may be arrange | positioned at zigzag form. Further, in the developed state (plan view) of the sound absorber 16, the upper limit of the ratio of the area of the welded portion 17 to the area of the sound absorber 16 is 10%. If it is larger than this upper limit, the number of welding steps will be greatly increased.

（作用）
本実施形態は、上記のように構成されており、以下その作用について説明する。図１において、本実施形態に係る空気入りタイヤ１０では、タイヤ骨格部材１８における少なくともタイヤ内面１８Ａが樹脂材料で構成されているので、タイヤ内面１８Ａがゴムである場合と異なり、加硫時にブラダー（図示せず）がタイヤ内面１８Ａに密着することがない。したがって、ブラダーの密着防止策としてのシリコーン系の離型剤の塗布工程が不要となる。また、熱可塑性樹脂材料で構成された吸音体１６が、樹脂材料で構成されたタイヤ内面１８Ａに溶着部１７を介して結合されているので、吸音体１６に接着層を配置する工程が不要となる。このため、吸音体１６がタイヤ内面１８Ａに接着される場合と比較して工程が少なくなり、低コストとなる。 (Function)
This embodiment is configured as described above, and the operation thereof will be described below. In FIG. 1, in the pneumatic tire 10 according to the present embodiment, since at least the tire inner surface 18A of the tire frame member 18 is made of a resin material, unlike the case where the tire inner surface 18A is rubber, a bladder ( (Not shown) does not adhere to the tire inner surface 18A. Therefore, the application process of the silicone type release agent as a measure for preventing adhesion of the bladder becomes unnecessary. Further, since the sound absorber 16 made of the thermoplastic resin material is bonded to the tire inner surface 18A made of the resin material via the welded portion 17, there is no need to arrange an adhesive layer on the sound absorber 16. Become. For this reason, compared with the case where the sound-absorbing body 16 is bonded to the tire inner surface 18A, the number of processes is reduced and the cost is reduced.

また、本実施形態では、吸音体１６だけでなくタイヤ骨格部材１８も熱可塑性樹脂材料により構成されているので、吸音体１６とタイヤ内面１８Ａとの溶着が容易となる。溶着時には、タイヤ骨格部材１８のタイヤ内面１８Ａが一旦溶けるが、溶着部１７は、タイヤ径方向においてベルト層３０と重なる範囲に設けられているので、タイヤ骨格部材１８が一旦溶けることによる強度変化の影響を無視できる。   In the present embodiment, since not only the sound absorber 16 but also the tire frame member 18 is made of a thermoplastic resin material, it is easy to weld the sound absorber 16 and the tire inner surface 18A. At the time of welding, the tire inner surface 18A of the tire frame member 18 is once melted, but since the welded portion 17 is provided in a range overlapping with the belt layer 30 in the tire radial direction, the strength change due to the tire frame member 18 being melted once is achieved. The influence can be ignored.

更に、本実施形態では、溶着部１７が、タイヤ内面１８Ａと吸音体１６とが超音波溶着された部位であるので、該溶着部１７は局所的に存在する。したがって、空気入りタイヤ１０のリサイクル時等において、吸音体１６をタイヤ骨格部材１８から分離させること、つまり吸音体１６とタイヤ骨格部材１８との分別が容易である。   Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the welding part 17 is a site | part where 18 A of tire inner surfaces and the sound-absorbing body 16 were ultrasonically welded, this welding part 17 exists locally. Therefore, when the pneumatic tire 10 is recycled, it is easy to separate the sound absorber 16 from the tire frame member 18, that is, to separate the sound absorber 16 and the tire frame member 18.

また溶着部１７が、タイヤ赤道面ＣＬのタイヤ幅方向両側において、タイヤ周方向に連続的、断続的又は離散的に設けられているので、超音波溶着時に、タイヤ骨格部材１８のうちタイヤ赤道面ＣＬに相当する部位が溶けることがない。このため、該部位の強度変化を抑制できる。つまり、タイヤ骨格部材１８の接合部（図示せず）を避けて溶着しているので、該接合部の強度変化を抑制できる。   Further, since the welded portions 17 are provided continuously, intermittently or discretely in the tire circumferential direction on both sides of the tire equatorial plane CL in the tire width direction, the tire equatorial plane of the tire skeleton member 18 during ultrasonic welding. The part corresponding to CL does not melt. For this reason, the intensity | strength change of this site | part can be suppressed. That is, since welding is performed avoiding the joint portion (not shown) of the tire frame member 18, a change in strength of the joint portion can be suppressed.

上記のように、本実施形態に係る空気入りタイヤによれば、吸音体１６が配置された空気入りタイヤを低コストで提供することができる。   As described above, according to the pneumatic tire according to the present embodiment, the pneumatic tire in which the sound absorber 16 is disposed can be provided at a low cost.

［空気入りタイヤの製造方法］
本実施形態に係る空気入りタイヤの製造方法は、少なくともタイヤ内面１８Ａが樹脂材料で構成されたタイヤ骨格部材１８を製造する工程と、熱可塑性樹脂材料により構成されると共に吸音可能とされた吸音体１６を、タイヤ内面１８Ａに溶着する工程と、を有する。 [Pneumatic tire manufacturing method]
The method for manufacturing a pneumatic tire according to this embodiment includes a step of manufacturing a tire frame member 18 in which at least a tire inner surface 18A is made of a resin material, and a sound absorber that is made of a thermoplastic resin material and can absorb sound. 16 is welded to the tire inner surface 18A.

図４は、超音波溶着用のホーン３６をタイヤ径方向に押し込む方法を示している。図４（Ａ）に示されるように、タイヤ内面１８Ａに吸音体１６を配置し、図４（Ｂ）に示される例では、ホーン３６を吸音体１６のタイヤ径方向内側から外側に向かって押し込み、超音波を吸音体１６とタイヤ内面１８Ａとの境界部に作用させ、両者を溶融させて互いに融合させる。これにより、溶着部１７が形成される。図４（Ｃ）に示されるように、吸音体１６からホーン３６を引き抜くと、該ホーン３６が押し込まれていた部分に凹部１６Ａが残存する。   FIG. 4 shows a method of pushing the ultrasonic welding horn 36 in the tire radial direction. As shown in FIG. 4A, the sound absorber 16 is disposed on the tire inner surface 18A, and in the example shown in FIG. 4B, the horn 36 is pushed inward from the tire radial direction inner side to the outer side of the sound absorber 16. The ultrasonic waves are applied to the boundary between the sound absorber 16 and the tire inner surface 18A, and both are melted and fused together. Thereby, the welding part 17 is formed. As shown in FIG. 4C, when the horn 36 is pulled out from the sound absorber 16, the recess 16A remains in the portion where the horn 36 has been pushed.

次に、図５は、超音波溶着用のホーン３６をタイヤ径方向に対し傾斜した方向に押し込む方法を示している。図５（Ａ）に示されるように、タイヤ内面１８Ａに吸音体１６を配置し、図５（Ｂ）に示される例では、ホーン３６を吸音体１６に対して、タイヤ径方向に対し傾斜した方向に押し込み、超音波を吸音体１６とタイヤ内面１８Ａとの境界部に作用させ、両者を溶融させて互いに融合させる。これにより、溶着部１７が形成される。図５（Ｃ）に示されるように、吸音体１６からホーン３６を引き抜くと、該ホーン３６が押し込まれていた部分に凹部１６Ａが残存する。円形のホーン３６を用いた場合、図４の例では溶着部１７が平面視で円形となるが（図３（Ａ），（Ｂ）参照）、図５の例では溶着部１７が楕円形となる。よって、図４の場合よりも溶着範囲を長くすることが可能である。   Next, FIG. 5 shows a method of pushing the ultrasonic welding horn 36 in a direction inclined with respect to the tire radial direction. As shown in FIG. 5A, the sound absorber 16 is disposed on the tire inner surface 18A. In the example shown in FIG. 5B, the horn 36 is inclined with respect to the sound absorber 16 with respect to the tire radial direction. It pushes in a direction, an ultrasonic wave is made to act on the boundary part of the sound absorption body 16 and tire inner surface 18A, both are fuse | melted and it fuse | melts each other. Thereby, the welding part 17 is formed. As shown in FIG. 5C, when the horn 36 is pulled out from the sound absorber 16, the recess 16A remains in the portion where the horn 36 has been pushed. When the circular horn 36 is used, the welded portion 17 is circular in plan view in the example of FIG. 4 (see FIGS. 3A and 3B), but in the example of FIG. Become. Therefore, it is possible to make the welding range longer than in the case of FIG.

この空気入りタイヤの製造方法では、タイヤ骨格部材１８の少なくともタイヤ内面１８Ａを樹脂材料で構成するので、タイヤ内面１８Ａがゴムである場合と異なり、加硫時にブラダー（図示せず）がタイヤ内面１８Ａに密着することがない。したがって、ブラダーの密着防止策としてのシリコーン系の離型剤の塗布工程が不要となる。また、熱可塑性樹脂材料で構成された吸音体１６を、樹脂材料で構成されたタイヤ内面１８Ａに溶着するので、吸音体１６に接着層を配置する工程が不要となる。このため、吸音体１６をタイヤ内面１８Ａに接着する場合と比較して工程が少なくなり、低コストとなる。   In this method for manufacturing a pneumatic tire, at least the tire inner surface 18A of the tire frame member 18 is made of a resin material. Unlike the case where the tire inner surface 18A is rubber, a bladder (not shown) is used for the tire inner surface 18A during vulcanization. There is no close contact with. Therefore, the application process of the silicone type release agent as a measure for preventing adhesion of the bladder becomes unnecessary. In addition, since the sound absorber 16 made of the thermoplastic resin material is welded to the tire inner surface 18A made of the resin material, a step of arranging an adhesive layer on the sound absorber 16 becomes unnecessary. For this reason, compared with the case where the sound-absorbing body 16 is bonded to the tire inner surface 18A, the number of processes is reduced and the cost is reduced.
